You'd
get away
from your daily routines and the regular faces - your boss, your mom,
your sister, your neighbours, your friend, your cats and your dogs....
So, if you agree with me, then start planning for your journey to Mount
Kinabalu. Keep in mind that
you must put your budget as a "#1".
There
are many places to stay in Kota
Kinabalu that are great, comfortable-and-affordable to
stay while you're in Kota Kinabalu.
The
trick is to do some pre-vacation research - a fancy way to say "find
whatever information you can get on the hotels before you actually come
to Kota Kinabalu." This include searching information on the Internet,
seeking recommendation from people who has been there and asking
directly to the the places' owners.
Accommodation for your journey can
be divided into two components. The first one would be the place you
stay overnight (or few nights) in Kota Kinabalu before and after going
to Kinabalu
Park HQ
for the climb, and the second one would be the
place to stay during the climb (Kinabalu Park HQ and Laban Rata).
The
first component of accommodation, which is in Kota Kinabalu, again can
be divided into two categories. You can either choose to stay in a
hotel or for budget traveler and backpackers, the lodges.
USEFUL
TIPS
It
is better for you to organize
your place to stay in Kinabalu Park HQfirst before
you book a stay in
Kota Kinabalu. You are allowed to climb Mount Kinabalu
only after you
have book the place to stay in Kinabalu Park.
As the
accomodation there is quite limited, make sure your place is
booked and secured. It can save you time and money, as you do not have
to stay any longer than you expected in Kota Kinabalu waiting
for
climbing accomodation availability.
